Course Outline of Record
Item Value

Course Description

This course is identical to HIST G155. This course covers the History of the United States from the pre-Columbian era to the modern day through the experiences of Native Americans, African Americans, Latinx Americans, and Asian Americans. Special consideration will be given to how these ethnic groups shaped the culture and identity of the United States. Furthermore, the history of these groups will be examined against the interconnections of racial, gender, and social (i.e. "The Big Three") power hierarchies that contribute to inequities in American society. Lastly, this course will explore the mission of the historic social justice movements which continue to combat these inequities. Enrollment Limitation: HIST G155; students who complete ETHS G150 may not enroll in or receive credit for HIST G155.
